I need help identifying the location and size of my external HDDs. I have multiple external HDD enclosures. They are set up as RAID 5, RAID 1, and single drives. I recall being able to see the individual HDD within Disk Utility, but I don't see it now.

I ask because two of the drives are set up as RAIDs, but do not appear as RAIDs possibly because they were set up through G-Tech software. The drives set up as RAIDs via Disk Utility appear as RAIDs. Additionally, if a drive fails (G-Tech), how will I know which one to replace. Some of the enclosures (including AkiTio) have external lights. However, the G-Techs do not.

Within Disk Utility, I can see Device (appears as diskXs2, where the number X changes based on the drive).

Any help would be greatly appreciate.
